FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - The dangerous duo that was arrested following a multi-county police pursuit is set to appear in court, Thursday.
Edward Foster, 22, and Matthew Geimer Jr., 22, were arrested on Wednesday after they led several police departments on a chase that led to their ultimate capture.
The incident began in North Miami after officers responded to an armed carjacking. Police pursued the stolen vehicle and Geimer led them all the way up to Palm Beach County and back down to Broward.
Eventually, Foster attempted to carjack another car with a rifle, but he failed when the driver refused to open the door for him.
Geimer stopped in the area of Commercial Boulevard and Rock Island and managed to steal a white Tesla at gunpoint; he drove away without Foster, leaving him to fend for himself.
Geimer, however did not get far. A police pickup T-boned the Tesla and Geimer jumped out, feigned surrender and took off running. He jumped into a canal and tried to swim away from authorities.
Moments later, he ran into a random homeowner’s house and barricaded himself for about 10 minutes.
Gisela Taveras, 71, said she watched the whole incident unfold on Channel 7 News before Geimer broke into her house.
She said she saw the man running through her neighborhood on TV, not thinking she would actually come face-to-face with the suspect.
She ran out of the house and flagged down a deputy before going to her next-door neighbor’s home for shelter.
Broward deputies would then swarm her home with their guns drawn until Geimer surrendered about 15 minutes later with his hands up wearing nothing but his red underwear.
Foster and Geimer face several charges, including eluding police. They are awaiting their court hearing in the Broward County Main Jail on no bond.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation will be handling the armed carjacking and attempted armed carjacking that occurred in Broward County.
